Spring Break Time

As Tulane gets ready for spring break next week, I should update this blog. I'm doing my best to keep new info up here at least weekly. I let time slip away a bit this time, but I should be back on schedule, now.

Last week, UNO hosted its first ever Chi Alpha New Orleans Gathering. We had a great turnout, including my dad, my uncle John, and 9 folks from Georgetown XA who were in town doing rebuilding work with our church. I didn't get an exact count, but there were close to 60 people there, which was exciting - lots of new UNO faces. And, above all that, God was truly present. We spent about 30 min just quietly praying and many students were praying together, as well as receiving prayer from staff members. The Holy Spirit did some work on hearts that night.

It was great to have some family in town. Next week, my good friend, Dan Johnson is coming to visit while I have a less busy schedule with Tulane on break. We enjoy having visitors - showing them our city (its highs and lows), sharing some laughs and good conversation, and opening our lives up, including an inside scoop on the ministry here.

This Saturday, we have the opportunity to work with churches from around the city to host a Convoy of Hope event. We (Jen, myself, Dan, and XA) look forward to the opportunity to minister to those in need. Please pray with us.

Oops, late post.

Hey there readers...
Are there any readers?

My goal is to post an update once a week or so, but I want to be sure folk are actually checking it out and reading it. If no one's reading it, I'll find other means of communicating with y'all to invest my time into.

So, if you are reading this blog, please post a comment from time to time to let me know you're out there. I'd appreciate it :)

I'm planning to get a new newsletter together in the next 5-10 days, which is good news.

Look for a post here in the next day or two about the interns we have here in New Orleans with us this year through the Diversity Project.

Sorry I let almost 3 weeks go by without a post. If you prove to me that you're reading, I'll respond by staying on schedule.

grace & peace
